Hey check this out!

Microsoft will send you a free CD containing security patches for 98/ME/2000/XP up to Oct. 2003. That mean it covers the MS Blaster worm!
I hate reformatting because of all the patches I have to download, and simply connecting to the internet makes a freshly installed XP system vulnerable to Blaster. This way, I can install most of the updates before I even connect to the internet. Very nice.
Definitely a good thing to have. Especially for people stuck with dial-up.
